I think of it like this. Would a team with Andy Cook as its main striker get you promoted?

The only way this set up works is with a mobile man leading the line.
I just don’t like the set up. Not having a go at Hughes as I appreciate he has to work with what he’s got, but we’ve a lot of attacking players who are contributing little in terms of goals and assists.
let’s hope he’s ruthless in the summer.The Evidence, Onside, Rogered Tart and 1 other person like this. -

Further evidence, should it be needed, that this season has been a complete catastrophe.
Wish we could skip to pre-season now.Sergio Pinto III, Kop View and borderlescott like this. -

Looks poor from Cook without doubt but tbf to him he's never a lone striker and is probably just about adequate for a decent L2 teams bench, where as we've had him up front on his own and had him as our man upfront, it was never going to go well. I think he's contracted for next season so I've no problem with him as back up.

The obvious success story is Stevens and Matt at FGR who are two of the top scorers and FGR top of the league.
In contrast Leyton Orient have 2 of the leagues top scorers in Drinan and Smith, yet they have struggled and are no better than us.
Harrogate have 3 goalscorers in that table, yet are below us in the table.JonButterfield likes this. -

I can name you a lot of forwards that have been poor this season for us, scoring next to no goals, but it's weird, funky logic to say it's poor from Cook.
You've even outlined the reasons Cook has had a tough time scoring, but there are six or seven forwards at this club who have been real let downs. Cook isn't the one we need to be focussing on imho. He's the one capable forward lolbaggers likes this. -
The other thing to note with Cooky is that he scored most of his goals in the first half of the season. 10 goals in his first 21 games was a good record but obviously the Adams slump set in, he was devoid of service and in his last 13 games the only time he’s scored was a tap into an empty net when the Forest Green keeper got caught out going up for a corner.
Those dire stats are not all Cooks own doing, I think it says more about our set up more than anything.
it will be interesting to see if Hughes sticks with it next year or is just getting through until the summer with what he’s got and has been forced to stick with this set up.Bronco likes this. -
